The Small,Tall,Rich,Poor Boy
There was a small boy
Whose heart was filled with joy
But was noisy and people he annoyed.
He was unemployed this comes to no surprise
For he was a child but was six feet high
Only at the age of five he towered over other guys
He worked at the...

Poor Boy Playground
Pain was half the fun
on a dirt-pile pyramid
topped with a slab of lumber
Bleeding, splintered hands
Black and blue behinds, scraped knees
Wounds gladly traded for joy

A discarded box
beckons three dare-devil brats
to crawl in and roll downhill 
through the briar patch
Tucked safe in their cardboard womb
giggling at outraged...

Poor Boy
Poor boy.
He wants to join,
But he’s too afraid to get wet.
He’s too afraid to join in.

He stands and watches
As everyone else has fun.
He’s too afraid to run
Through the Blue Lagoon.

Standing behind him,
Laughing at his shyness,
His mom itches 
Just to push him in-

To the crowd of...

Poor Boy Winter
Cracks in the floor,
filled with old cardboard.

Plastic on the windows,
blankets on the doors.

Newspaper on the plumbing,
wood stacked by the stove.

Preparing for the winter,
when I was just a boy....

Poor Boy
There was a child

 His clothes were old

His shape was smart 

But he has no chance

He found the others were the best

He found the others had looked

Happy and had more fun

He decided not to go

To his school and not to do

His work and not to...

But what’s a poor boy to do

Since the day I first saw light
I was so tough and hard up for the fight
I learnt the hard way as my rule
The school of hard knocks made me no-ones fool
But whats a poor boy to do

Up in the morning before the sun
My workin for...

Premium Member A Poor Boy Peeps Into a Fair
It's a fantasy-fair; great games in thread
Some in merry-go-rounds flow in full swing
He stands, smiling and laughing, eyes wide spread

Some, in hope-doubt smiles, to shoot balloons, ding
Some ride on camels as on a true war
Some in merry-go-rounds flow in full swing

Some seeing lions in pretty-cases,...
